ST. JOSEPH (WJON News) -- Demolition work will soon begin on some of the old St. Joseph Mill project.

During Tuesday night's St. Joseph EDA meeting, they'll get an update on the work.

The eastern post and frame portion of the building is proposed to be demolished as the structure's roof has collapsed. The western grain elevator is also proposed to be removed due to its condition and safety concerns. The owners are asking the EDA for a grant to help pay for the demo work.
